Hey,
i got the combo Fiio K17 and FT7.
At first when I had K7 before i thought that this is the problem with clinicality of Sabre that made sibilance too harsh because of the clarity and overwhelming details.
I upgraded to warmer K17, the sibilance improved but still have a problem with vocal “s” some songs like Deniz Kabu - Hollow Talk. It is piercing and happens to be longer that it should. There are also some frequencies that are not vocals but make the piercing sound.
Even after EQing sibilance is better but still not pleasent. I have tried reducing everything above 2kHz, totally off everything above 12kHz. Nothing seems to help with eliminating the harshness.
Oratory EQ does not work for sibilance, it makes it worse.
I am really confused how to manage this.
It there a way to de-es in roon?
Any tips how should i approach?
Maybe it’s FT7 that needs to be replaced?
